Sorry, for the moment, I'm working on Futalicious G3F&G8F updates + Roasty G3F&G8F update + Stereo Love G3F update(s) + Futalicious G3F UVS... all to be released in the same moment, otherwise the old expansion packs won't work anymore. That's at least five products to fix and deeply test now, I'm a bit under the weather.

Just after that, there will be Dicktator G8M update + the texture pack for all FTL and DCK... and another expansion pack I rather keep quiet for the moment ;)

OK, so I recently got the G3m dicktator and in general I like it. However, the fact that it uses the torso texture of the original and not the gens texture bothers me because the textures that come with it are just limited (though I love the displacement options, especially on the balls). I am tempted to get the Dicktator for G8m, but there are a few issues I want to know about before I do. 1. It says that it takes M4 GENS textures. Does it? or does it also take the M4 torso texture?2. Does it use the torso of g8m figures or the actual gens texture?3. if it only has iray materials can we use it with M4 textures on g8m in 3dl if the textures are currently in 3dl? Also, I presume we can manually switch the materials from iray to 3dl if we want, right?

Would also welcome any member experiences with it. I do like the morph options with the one for g3m. Foolishly, I thought that it would work on both since the base uv is the same for both, but then I realized that since it is a graft, you cannot use the one for g3m on g8m.

I have Dicktator for G8M, but honestly I really skew towards G3 simply because I have a ton of content for both the male and female, so I use the G3 versions 99% of the time. My experience with it is generally good, especially with the update. As far as matching textures, if one of the default presets doesn't do the trick, I try to use one that's lighter than what I want and then use the shell color adjustment to bring it in line. I tend to make the genital color a shade or two darker than the skin texture, simply because your junk is darker than everything surrounding it. If I can't get one of the default textures to work, which is rare, I'll use photoshop to adjust one of them darker or lighter depending on what I need. So far I haven't had any problems, with the exception of black skin. I find that black characters give me the most trouble with matching male genital textures. I almost never end up using the default dark skin preset, and will usually use one of the white textures with a lot of adjustment on the shell shader, and perhaps some time in photoshop. Sometimes I won't even use a black skin texture on the G3 character at all, but instead use a white character texture and adjust the base diffuse color to get the results I want. I would love to see a Dicktator update that allows the use of G3M genital mats. I think the combination of that with the displacement options available in the latest update would make things a lot easier.

I'll release a texture expansion pack in the early spring!

Only the M4 gen textures on the dick.

G8m torso is copied on the graft under the shell. With the texture expansion pack you'll be able to use G8M gen textures on the shell.

Thanks for reminding me. Well, no, I have to release M4'body UVs for the graft too... I can do that in the v3 update (that will come before the textures expansion pack).

It will be in the textures expansion pack! All textures will be available with three Uvs options: Dicktalicious, G8/3M, M4. So you'll be able to load a G8M gen texture and mix it with a Dicktator veiny displacement.

Yea! I've been hoping for a response like this. I'm looking forward to the new releases. Quick question regarding a new male character at DAZ that is about to be released (tomorrow, I think). The artist is not supplying any gens textures. I can make my own from textures. But, if I buy the Dictator, G8 version, would I be able to use a cutout of the new character's torso on the Dictator? In other words, is there a kind of genital map for the Dictator that would allow a user to create a texture from a character's torso, one that the Dictator could then use on it's gens?

Thank you again, very interesting question. You would have to project the character's torso texture, applied on the graft, on one of the two UVs available for Dicktator G8M. Then, you could add some details from your photo references. This can be all done in Blender, I think it deserves a little tutorial... If I have a little time, I'll do it in the week-end.

You mean the texture pack? I'm a little late. Next week the G3F FTL/RY v3 updates will be uploaded to the store... (4 products), then it'll be the turn of G8M DCK v3 and the texture pack... in April. ;)

Is the "Texture Wizard" the expansion pack that you were working on? Is there still an update for the G8 Dictator to be released later? I haven't bought Dictator yet. When I do buy, I wanted to get the latest and the packs that will work together best.

The packs are working together now (v3 versions+Texture Wixard). I don't plan to release new major updates for the moment. There may be small updates including FBM for new characters, or bonus morphs/cumshots, but they will be included in the actual v3 version.

Could you explain just a bit more about the "Texture Wizard"? I do want to buy both it and the Dicktator, but in the info for the "TW," is it saying that the vein displacements can be placed directly on the DAZ G8 gens, or the DAZ G3 gens? I'm guessing, though, that the scrotum morphs and the foreskin morphs work only on the Dicktator itself, right? Gosh, those are things that are really missing in the DAZ gens: foreskin morphs and scrotum morphs.
